Oh you Brits just probably schmoozed those evil terrorists to death.:p


We just told them there was a group of Glasgow holiday-makers coming over and they were mighty PO'd about the airport attack :D

It is a good thing that he is free again.
He was used until the very last day of his imprisonment.The Gaza clan that abducted him was forced to take part in a big orchestration of the Hamas liberation of the journalist.
All of this was intended to give the world the impression that Hamas is a law abiding organisation.

Are the Glasgow lads in any way comparable to those Manchester boys?? Or do they have some Scottish spirit on top of that??

Manchester lads are wimps compared to Glasgow boys :D

In the old days when Glasgow was at it's roughest we had the *razor gangs* who used to roam around fighting each other with the old-style barber's open razors :eek:

A favourite Glasgow boy trick was to stitch razor blades (ie, Gillette disposable single blades) into the lapels of the suit jacket: that way, when someone grabbed you by the lapels during a fight they'd slash their own fingers :eek:

Fond memories :D
